2027 AWARD LOG OF CLAIMS – MEMBER SURVEY NOW LIVE

With our 2024 Awards now complete and Gazetted, as outlined in SitRep 6/2026, it’s time to commence the process for negotiating our upcoming 2027 Award, which will kick into gear with the Department later this year.

As with the development of our previous Log of Claims, we intend to develop the 2027 Award Log of Claims in direct consultation with, and through feedback from all members.

To that end, we are asking that all members take the time to complete this survey, which you can access here.

This survey will allow us to understand the priorities of the membership for the upcoming Award negotiations and develop our Log of Claims.

To assist members to complete the survey, we have prepared an analysis of the final Permanent and Retained Awards for 2024 compared to what we were initially seeking in our 2024 Log of Claims. These documents can be accessed here for Retained and Permanent.

We are asking that all members complete this survey by no later than Saturday 21 March 2026 to provide sufficient time for us to review the responses and begin the process of developing each claim.

As we have done previously, the final draft Log of Claims will be provided in full to members, and we will seek that members endorse this document at SGMs before commencing negotiations.

Any questions about the survey or the Log of Claims more generally can be directed to FBEU Senior Industrial Officer Rini Krouskos via email at rkrouskos@fbeu.net.

In Unity,

Leighton Drury
State Secretary
